Politico: “There is plenty personally at stake for Schumer, who has been feeling heat from the party base for the better part of two years as they’ve bristled against the limits of Democrats ability to check Trump. As pressure has grown, Schumer has repeatedly touted his campaign recruiting successes as proof of his leadership skill.”
“He downplayed any divisions Wednesday, saying his caucus is ‘totally unified’ going into the midterms and that he would seek to continue in the top spot regardless of the outcome.”
Said Schumer: “I am running for reelection for leader. Period.”
